Back in August, I posted a Babushkas page (Russian nesting dolls). Today's post is the boy version of that page. As far as updates go, just like the pages I have been posting recently, the pictures needed a bit of work, but the construction remains the same.

For the overall concept of this book as well as some tips and tricks, check out my Quiet Book page.

Materials Needed:* Fabric (remember to prewash all fabrics)* Faux leather for the moose nose* Felt for inside the Bear and Fox* Various buttons for adornment* Embroidery floss and needle*﻿Steam a Seam﻿* 9"x9" ofreinforcementand some for the Bear and Fox*Pattern, remember to UNCHECK the fit to page box

Pocket:* Cut pockets from furs/fabrics for the moose and the bear (I used the page material and the back of the bear material for the inside of the pocket so it wasn't so thick)* With right sides together, sew along the top of the pocket*Understitchthe inside of the pocket* Iron the pocketMoose:* Cut Moose body and head from fur and the steam a seam* Cut antlers and nose from faux leather and steam a seam* Using thetemplate, position body and antlers on page and pin* Flip page over and iron from the back (the fur is too thick from the front and the leather will melt)* Position and pin Moose pocket to body and* Using a satin stitch, attach to the page and reinforcement (for the body, start on one side and go to the middle, then go to the other side and meet in the middle, otherwise, your pocket may end up crooked)* Position head and nose on page, and pin in place (I used double sided tape to help position the ears)* Again, flip page over and iron from the back to attach* Using a satin stitch, attach to the page and reinforcement* Embroider nose holes onto nose and sew eyes (I did the nose before attaching it and that is why it is crooked)
